Hi gang ! After building a T47 and T12 I thought it would be great to have a U-87 inspired mic in my arsenal. So here is a video of the complete build. Comparaison comming soon !

Hi gang, We do not talk about ear protection often enough. So I decided to share how I make some DIY Earplugs. It might not be the best way to do them.. but the important thing is to use them !! ;)

hi there, I came across one of these in a music store for $15.. but it was diagnosed that it needs a new belt. I know this might not be all that's wrong with it but if that IS all that's wrong with it, I'd be willing to buy that and open it up, but my question is does anyone know where I...

Hi all, Looking for some help here... I have a digital piano Yamaha YDP-163 which has 2 headphone jacks as audio outputs. Sadly, no AUX OUT or LINE OUT jacks so only headphones. When plugging a single pair of headphones to either of the headphone jacks, the audio signal is clean, clear and loud...

I was telling Dave Hawk ( @dvdhawk ) this weekend about one of my wishes.... And that is that I wish I had the talent, knowledge and ability to design and build gear, ya know, boutique type stuff like opto and tube compressors, EQ'S, mics, guitar amps, ... Like Marco (@pcrecord) built his mic -...

Hey guys, instead of calling it bad luck, im calling it an opportunity to learn. I scooped one of those "beginner all in one" guitar / amp kits a couple days ago, where the whole thing is in a box, with picks ect ect. It's a first act brand and was $85 total. The guitar is surprisingly...

Im going the DIY route for acoustic room treatment and I want to start with bass traps. I have the budget but im curious which, if any, of these bass trap methods have significantly better low end benefits than the other. Bass trap styles: (15" + 8' tall) square superchunk (15"x15"x21" +...

Hi guys, Here is a new mic shoutout that includes 3 products from microphone-parts.com I had many questions about the mods and the DIY Kits. Hope you can hear the subtle differences. I'm still getting used to audio and video productions so your comments are needed and welcome. Btw, I'm not...

I have a GS 3000 console turn of the century stuff. The Mute mpu board has gone out part 002-347-1 so all the mutes seem stuck off and mute and status leds are stuck on. No LCD. Everything else works. Need to find a replacement or figure out how to fix it. The pcb makes use of a P80C32 40 pin...

Does any one have Bin likes for Studer A807 mk 1, current version installed was 40/87, but can change to later version if available. D

I'm trying to estimate two cost points for an acoustical door: - The entire assembly including mounting hardware, seals etc. - The door panel itself, excluding hardware, handle, etc. I have a way to go before arriving at an estimate for the entire door, but come up with this baseline cost...

I first learned about CAPI gear on the forums. I was looking to dip my toes into the world of API sounds, not fully knowing what that meant. I had heard all the descriptors like punchy, forward mids, aggressive, tight, etc., but wanted to try it out for myself. So many great albums were done on...

Greetings- I recently bought an older Shure 545 (4-pin Amphenol era) on eBay, and while it works, it sounds a bit of the dog with voice: a greatly diminished low end, and reminiscent of talking through a paper towel tube. Given there's only three parts to the mic: cartridge, transformed and...

I want to break a signal path which has no discrete components in it as of now. I want a 3 position toggle switch to have the options of Stock (signal pass through), Resistor 1 (signal path broken and routed into Resistor 1), and Resistor 2 (signal path broken and routed into Resistor 2). I've...

Hi there! I have a dbx 386 dual channel tube preamp. It was out of service for some time and when I recently put it back in the rack only a couple of LEDs turn on. On inspection it seems that the larger of the two transformers supplying power to the PCB has transformed into a Gandalf No-Pass...

This is my review of the Hairball Gold pre. I built this from the DIY kit. This review will be mainly in two parts - a brief review of the DIY aspect and the actual use of the preamp. The build guide for the Elements preamps is pretty good. It's not super specific on some components, so...

Hi guys, Like the title says, I got one of my two LA-610 who doesn't compress anymore.. the action faded over a few months. I tried to change the tubes and even exchanged the opto cell with the other LA-610 and it did no good. So I guess a cap or a resistor failed.. I'd need some guidance...

Edited for clarity. So, I am setting up for some hybrid mixing for the first time and have db25 connected from the analog out of my converters to the input of my radial lunchbox. The lunch box has preamps for recording as well as an eq. I accidentally sent phantom to the analog out of my...
